Monastery Immaculate Conception: Ferdinand, Indiana
The Ferdinand Benedictines are one of the largest Benedictine communities of women in the United States -- over 100 members strong and thriving.
Monastery Immaculate Conception was founded in 1867 by four young Benedictine sisters who came to Ferdinand to teach the children of area settlers. More than 1,000 women have entered the community over the last 150+ years. They've expanded their ministries beyond education and beyond Ferdinand. Today, they serve as teachers, social workers, parish ministers, counselors, nurses, attorneys, youth ministers, administrators, entrepreneurs, activists, chaplains, librarians and more.
The history of Monastery Baked Goods is rooted in a love of baking among the sisters. In support of Christkindlmarkt, an annual German festival held in Ferdinand, the sisters started making and selling Springerle, a traditional German cookie. Today they produce a variety of cookies and other baked goods whose sales help to support their ministries.
Ingredients: Pretzels (wheat flour, vegetable oil, [corn oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, and/or palm oil], maltodextrin, yeast, citric acid, lactic acid, natural flavors, vinegar, baking soda), canola oil, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves

Light and Sweet





We wanted to try the three pretzel offerings. These were light cinnamon and sugar flavor. Shaking the bag coated the pretzel better to enhance the light sweet taste. We both like these pretzels.
